Dhaka has ranked the second least liveable city in the world for the third consecutive year, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2015 Global Liveability Ranking.
The capital of Bangladesh has been dubbed with the indication for the third year in a row while the immensely affected and war torn city of Damascus, Syria, has been ranked the worst livable city.
This year Melbourne has been ranked the most liveable city in the world for the fifth time in a row while Vienna city of Austria gained second position in the ranking.
Besides, three cities from Australia has made it to the top ten liveable cities, they are: Adelaide (5), Sydney (7), and Perth (8).
The ranking that considers 30 factors like safety, healthcare, educational resources, infrastructure and environment in 140 cities, shows that since 2010 average liveability across the world has fallen by 1%, led by a 2.2% fall in the score for stability and safety.
Ongoing conflicts in Syria, Ukraine and Libya have been compounded by terrorist shootings in France and Tunisia as well as the civil unrest in America. In Athens, austerity rather than unrest has weighed on the provision of public services, while Kiev saw the sharpest fall over the last 12 months and is now among the ten least liveable cities ranked.
